Launch tommorrow- we are told we need fuzzy fenders rather than vinyl to protect the awl grip (true?). cann't wait!!
Muskrat is ready
- Thread starter southport
- Start date
Congratulations on keeping her looking superbly authentic.
I think that on a performance basis covered fenders just edge uncovered - and look much better - but one must be aware of their propensity to hold grit and try to keep their bottoms out of harbor surface scum. Also be aware of their ability to ware through your cove stripe finish and even press the toe rail in extreme situations if positioned too high.

we hope to get away for a few trips down east. We need to be home often as we are helping Cindy's dad stay at home. Also the minor detail of a wedding in the family ( I'm trying to stay below the radar on that front!) We're going in our local yacht clubs race trhis week end for fun. We need to hope for a stiff breeze these boats love.
The launch went well and we finish rigging her today. Amazing how long it takes to put back all those fittings from all those ziplock bags! TRhe window trim came out OK- no leaks and from a distance they look fine. I think next winter with more time I'll try to improve their looks. Really not too hard after practicing making 36 corners!
